™ TPEs vs. TPEs vs. TPEs offer flexibility through chemistry.

CASE STUDY: VERSAFLEX™ OM TPES THE CHALLENGE Millions of people of all ages play video games. THE SOLUTION While researching other possibilities online, the company found Avient and requested additional information on its thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). Additionally, compared to silicone rubber, the TPE is easier and faster to process, as it requires no pre-mixing, curing or adhesives.

Stat-Tech™ TPE Static Dissipative & Electrically Conductive Thermoplastic Elastomers Stat-Tech™ TPEs are electrically conductive thermoplastic elastomers engineered to protect critical electronics from electrostatic discharge (ESD), and electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI). Stat-Tech TPEs can be both injection molded and extruded, giving great design freedom for more complex geometries. Stat-Tech TPEs are well-positioned to perform in applications such as industrial conveyor belts and controllers, ADAS systems and electronic devices.

GLS™ TPE AUTOMOTIVE SOLUTIONS IMPROVE VEHICLE AIR QUALITY WITH TPEs FOR AUTOMOTIVE HVAC FLAPS Vehicle interior air quality in passenger vehicles and strict automotive OEM standards have driven our advancement of these low VOC, low fogging TPEs for use in heating/ventilation/air conditioning seals. GLS automotive TPEs are designed to improve driver and passenger safety and comfort. This industry-leading TPE technology reduces volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by 50% and fogging by 35% versus existing TPEs for HVAC applications.

GLS™ TPE PACKAGING SOLUTIONS CHEMICAL RESISTANT SOLUTIONS FOR COSMETIC, PERSONAL CARE AND HOUSEHOLD PACKAGING We’ve developed a line of chemical resistant thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) that do not discolor, etch, crack or delaminate. And, because TPEs can be overmolded, brand owners and packaging manufacturers have new options for designing components that can be integrated directly into the package. Our FDA and REACH compliant Versaflex™ PKG TPEs provide options for designing aesthetically pleasing packaging components that withstand aggressive chemicals

Versaflex™ HC and Versaflex™ HC BIO Thermoplastic Elastomers TPEs for Biopharmaceutical Tubing (BT) The Versaflex™ HC and Versaflex™ HC BIO BT series is formulated specifically to handle the complexities of biopharma tubing. Delivering on critical application demands, it provides weldability, kink resistance, and tensile strength performance comparable to leading medical tubing materials, including silicone and TPE. Offering reliable performance, optical clarity and expanded design freedom, these medical- grade TPEs may be customized to meet specific regulatory demands or application needs.
